Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in Locker 6, Storage Site #32. To negate the effects of its anomalous properties, SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 50cmx50cmx80cm steel safe featuring interior signal-blocking padding, four externally-wired radio transmitters and a five-digit security code. All radio transmitters are to constantly give signals containing factually inaccurate mock-communications regarding the Foundation's activities. MTF Theta-16 ("Con Artists") is to be established exclusively for the maintenance and upgrading of algorhithms used to generate the signals' content.

In the event of a containment breach, SCP-XXXX is to be returned to its steel safe as soon as possible. If the safe is destroyed beyond usefulness, a new one is to be manufactured immediately. SCP-XXXX is not to be destroyed, as it is far more desirable for SCP-XXXX (and any possiby-related manufacturer or GOI) to beleive that it was successful.

Due to the severity of the consequences of a containment breach, SCP-XXXX's effects are to be made known to all research and security staff at SCP-XXXX. This is in an effort to make it known that, while SCP-XXXX does not have its own cell and is not capable of directly harming personnel, its anomalous properties are not harmless.

Description: SCP-XXX is a dark grey Western Electric model 500 desk telephone. Its underside label states that it was manufactured in 1954, even though it functions wirelessly (technology which was not commercially available until the 1960s).

SCP-XXXX is fully capable of all the functions of a non-anomalous desk telephone; being able to give and recieve calls. However, anomalous properties will manifest if:

SCP-XXXX is not being used for calls.

There are no foundation personnel within a fifteen meter-radius of SCP-XXXX.

If these requirements are met, SCP-XXXX will attempt to intercept and 'listen in on' Foundation radio transmissions. This is not

The janitor's request to have their identity censored in the digital version of this document due to the embarrasing nature of the incident was accepted. Instead, they will be reffered to as SCP-3148-1
